MILAN – Danilo D’Ambrosio is now an Inter player. The relevant documentation was submitted to the Lega Serie A offices this morning, confirming the defender’s move from Torino to the Nerazzurri. The Neapolitan, 25, has signed a deal until 30 June 2018.
APPIANO GENTILE – Here is Danilo D’Ambrosio on his first day as a Nerazzurri player. He spoke to Inter Channel following his arrival at the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti earlier: “What a feeling it is to be here, I’m really happy. It’s a proud moment for both me and my family: I’ve had to work my way up but now I’m at Inter and obviously I’m very proud.”
And, on the subject of family, Danilo talked about his twin brother, Dario: “He’s at Lecce, it’s great to share the same passion with your brother. I’d still love us to play together in Serie A one day! But for now all I’m thinking about is doing well here.”
D’Ambrosio then gave his thoughts on his best position: “I can play on either flank. I’ll give it everything when I’m called upon, I’m fighting fit and ready to give my all, right from the off. That’s my pledge to the fans.”
APPIANO GENTILE � The latest
instalment of InterNos has arrived, which sees Hugo Campagnaro as a guest in
the Inter Channel studios.
The Nerazzurri defender spoke
first of all about forwards and which ones have been the most difficult
to mark: “The most uncomfortable for me was definitely Ibrahimovic. He�s a
complete forward with no weaknesses. He�s quick and technical. You just have to
do what you can against him, and I believe he�s the one who gave me the most
problems.”
His playing history reveals a
stint as a centre forward in Argentina, with many changes along the way: “It�s
true, I played a few games up top. Then I came to Italy and played for
Agostinelli on the right side of midfield. Then Cagni came along and moved me
to the centre of defence. These are little things that can lead to big
changes. Now I try more frequently to move forward and support the attack. But
then everyone has to do his part, and we have some excellent forwards in this
squad.”
Stay tuned for another sneak
preview in two hours with Hugo Campagnaro on InterNos.
APPIANO GENTILE – “I like it here at Inter, then when Mazzarri came in from Napoli I said to myself, ‘Good, that’s one less thing to worry about’. Now we’re going through a tough time of things, but once you’re settled, you do everything you can to get through this tricky spell.” Hugo Campagnaro continued his account of his time with the Nerazzurri on tonight’s episode of InterNos, Inter Channel’s weekly programme on the team’s stars.
Here’s what the defender had to say about the differences of being a footballer in Naples and in Milan, at Inter: “The main difference is that you see fans outside the stadium and when you walk around the city. The supporters in Naples are more passionate. Both sets of supporters give their all when the matches are on, but obviously the fans at Napoli had a different state of mind because we had a great season. Clearly things aren’t going well at Inter at the moment and the fans aren’t happy. Who’s helped the most since I’ve been here? When I joined, I came into an environment I already knew. Obviously I needed help when I first joined Piacenza and I didn’t speak Italian.” And what about his relationship with the fans? “I don’t go out much at all, I spend a lot of time at home with my family. I enjoy being a dad.”
Finally the Argentine discussed the upcoming match against Juventus: “They’ve won all 10 of the home games they’ve played, Juventus always do well on their own patch and score a lot of goals. We need to go there without fear, give 100% and then see where we are after 90 minutes. They were already a great team last season and they’ve improved this year. How will we approach the game? It might be a bit silly to go there and try to attack Juventus from the off, but we have our own style and we try to put that in action everywhere we go. We’ll do it against Juventus but we’d have done it anyway even if it had been Chievo.”
